1 Kings 8:46-50

46If they sinH2398 against thee, (for there is no manH120 that sinnethH2398 not,) and thou be angryH599 with them, and deliverH5414 them to the enemyH341, so that they carry them awayH7617 captivesH7617 untoH6440 the landH776 of the enemyH341, farH7350 or nearH7138;

47Yet if they shall bethinkH7725 themselves in the landH776 whither they were carried captivesH7617, and repentH3820H7725, and make supplicationH2603 unto thee in the landH776 of them that carried them captivesH7617, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, and have done perverselyH5753, we have committed wickednessH7561;1

48And so returnH7725 unto thee with all their heartH3824, and with all their soulH5315, in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, which led them away captiveH7617, and prayH6419 unto thee towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1, the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:

49Then hearH8085 thou their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467 in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941,2

50And forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 that have sinnedH2398 against thee, and all their transgressionsH6588 wherein they have transgressedH6586 against thee, and giveH5414 them compassionH7356 beforeH6440 them who carried them captiveH7617, that they may have compassionH7355 on them:
